INGESTION:  

N/A

EYES:                  

Eye irritant.  Vapors is irritating to eyes mucous membranes above TLV.  Prolonged and repeated over exposure to vapors may produce symptoms of non-allergic asthma in sensitive individuals.

INHALATION:       

N/A

SKIN:

Skin contact may cause burns.  Bonds rapidly and strongly to skin.

INGESTION:

Ingestion is unlikely.

EYES:

Flush with warm water.  In the event that eyelids are stuck together or bonded to the eyeball, wash thoroughly with warm water and apply a gauze patch.  The eye will open without further action, typically in one to two days.  There will be no residual damage.  Do not try to open the eyes by manipulation.  Adhesive introduced into the eyes will attach itself to the eye protein and will disassociate from it over intermittent periods, usually in several hours.  This will cause periods of weeping until clearance in achieved.  It is important to understand that disassociation will normally occur within a matter of hours, even with gross contamination.

INHALATION:

Remove to fresh air.

SKIN:

Skin Contact: Remove excess adhesive.  Soak in warm water.  The adhesive will come loose form the skin in several hours.  Dried adhesive does not present a health hazard even when bonded to the skin.  Avoid contact with clothes, fabric, rags, or tissue.  Contact with these materials may cause polymerization.  The polymerization of large amounts of adhesive will generate heat causing smoke, skin burns, and strong, irritating vapors.  Wear rubber or polyethylene gloves and an apron when handling large amounts of adhesive.

Skin Adhesion: First immerse the bonded surfaces in warm, soapy water.  Peel off or roll the surfaces open with the end of a blunt edge, such as a spatula or a spoon handle, then remove adhesive from the skin with soap and water.  Do not try to pull the surfaces apart with a direct opposing action.

STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE LARGE AMOUNTS ARE RELEASED:

Flood with water to polymerize.  Soak up with inert absorbent.

WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:

Incinerate or dispose of in an approved landfill in accordance with local and EA regulations.  Not a RCRA hazardous waste.

PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:

Store away from heat and direct sunlight to maximize shelf life.  Store inside in a dry location.  Keep container tightly closed.  Avoid contact with skin.  Avoid breathing vapors.
